My Sister In Law has a Cub Lo Boy 185 and I am trying to help here get it running since her husband has passed away. I need to order some parts, but I don't know the year and serial of the tractor. Does someone know where the serial number is, and can you determine the year by the serial number. I believe that she needs a new starter, but want to checkout a couple things to determine if it is a starter problem. She is 600 miles away, so this project may have some hurdles !! Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have restored a 1961 Ford, but not real familiar With IH.
 
the starter is also the generator, before You just order a replacement starter check cables and connections specially the grounds. there is likely nothing wrong with your starter , it likely needs to be disassembled and cleaned up. take it to a re-builder if your not able to do it your self. I could also do it for you if you shipped it to me. Something to keep in mind if you choose to purchase a replacement it will likely have the original delco-remy it tag removed. email is open .

Don't worry about "familiarity." The basic concepts are the same. If you know what the systems on the tractor look like on the Ford you can identify them on the IH, and you will know how they work.
 
Thanks so much for your reply!! I didn't know that the generator and starter is one unit. I will have someone check all of the connections, including the grounds. If that doesn't fix the problem, I may consider sending the unit to you to check it out. Like I said before, I am 600 miles from this tractor, which makes it more difficult to help on this project. Stay tuned I may be coming back to you for further guidance. Thanks again for your guidance!!
 
I am not sure, but I also believe that unit has some safety switches on it that will only allow it to start when all the controls are in the correct positions.
